About:
In the summer of 2000 I started working with Youth as an intern. I had just fnished
my freshman year at Indiana Wesleyan. It was during this summer at camp hearing
Dr. Lo speak that I felt God speaking to me. That night I felt the call to ministry.
Since this night I have done everything possible to pursue this call. It was also at
IWU that I met my wife of 5 years, Jenny. After graduation I spent 3.5 years in youth
ministry. I felt that it was time to pursue more education. So my wife and I moved
to Indianapolis in the Fall of 2007 to pursue a Master’s in Ministerial Leadership at
IWU. Currently I am looking for a ministry position and plan to finish my masters
online.
